Walkthru of techniques for improved riding on your Lift eFoil. Colin Guinn shows how to make the most out of the Lift electric hydrofoil surfboard. store.liftfoils.com
We have been having tremendous fun efoiling on the lake. The memories are precious. These machines are huge people magnets; when we’re done, there are always people who approach us to take photos of the foils and ask us questions. The Lift eFoil advertises itself. Thank you for these tips.
I bought one for the family for Christmas. I love it! It is a lot of fun! I was very impressed with the quality. Looking forward to lots of fun on the lake this summer.
One correction on physics. Initiating a turn does NOT reduce the wing surface area. What does happen during a turn is you are generating centrifugal force which increases the down force (perceived weight of the rider). This force must be overcome by more lift, therefore more throttle.
I'd guess the propeller can spin freely if the motor is turned off, or if the wave is pushing you faster then the motor setting. Most electric fans will spin if you sit them out in a breeze, for example. This would be easy to determine if you any of the eFoil owners are here (there's not too many of them, but they exist).
they use a folding prop for surfing. no prop guard too. reduces drag. it takes about 2 minutes to change it out. watched nick in some big surf ripping turns and then motoring out the back to get another one. respect.@@PeterCacioppi
I've ridden in some lake weeded places and if it's really thick it will get in the prop and slow the board way down. You have to flip the board over and clear it. In not so thick places the wing/mast at any speed just cuts threw them.
I'm buying one the second you get the price point down to 3k or so. I went on the site to impulse buy one but it's nearly the price of a Sea-Doo?? Also would be cool if you sell add-on batteries so I can swap a dead one out for a fully charged one at the beach for a full day of fun :)
They sell replacement batteries for $3k each. If you want a jet ski, then buy a jet ski. This is bleeding edge tech. If the cost is prohibitive, then I promise it’s not for you. Don’t buy a boat or a plane either - You’ll spend $5k-$10k/yr on oil changes and regular maintenance.
I would imideathly buy one, if there would be an option, to pay the big price over months and not directly. 12-14 thousand is a bit heavy without an credit some of us.
Hello Badabam, we actually offer financing in the U.S. or if you have a SSN. We have a 6 or 12-month financing plan with no interest; or a 24-month financing plan with a small fee.
@@badabamamm2652 I am so sorry to hear that :( hopefully, we can expand our financing programs soon. The SSN is a 9-digit number issued to American Citizens and Residents!
why doing the same error than at the bigining of aeronautic... using an négative portance on one off the both wings... juste put the small one forward with positive portance and large one behind with positive one also !!!?? should be easier to do it fly..(sorry for my pour english 'i'm french) Don't say thank you, juste send me one when you will win money with that patent=))
Aeronautical Dynamics a d hydrodynamics are not the same. Also for your theory to work the speed would have to be much greater for control and sttability. The efoil does not need to go so fast.
Hi Mashiro! Thanks for watching our video! Currently, there are over 500 happy owners of a LIFT eFoil and we truly hope someday you become part of the LIFT community! Have a great week!
